As I understand it the size is the same as the 60gb X5 right? and the extra space the double platter 60gb casing takes up is taken up by an extra battery correct?
Removing said "extra" battery takes you back to an identical battery life of the X5?

Once done what size HDD can a rockboxed and battery removed X5L be able to handle and what connection is used? ATA IDE the smaller one of a single platter or double platter like the X5?

Cheers, might be coming into one real cheap off a m8 from work coz the HDD died and he`s now bought a poohpod the numbty lol.
